About 3 years ago I had a scar on my lower leg taken off that turned colors and was growing. It was Malignant Melanoma and they took out an inch around the spot and then did a biopsy on my sentinel lymph nods where my leg meets my body. It came back negative.
2 weeks ago a black and blue spot developed on the suture area (scar) of where they removed a couple lymph nods. It is in my pubic region so I passed it off as an ingrown hair but it has continued to grow and not go away and not it will bleed and puss when squeezed. Is there a chance that this is another spot of melanoma? Should I go back in to the dermatologist?

I'm no way any where near qualified or knowledgeable in such areas but I'd just say that I really do suggest that you do go back to your demortoligist (sorry cannot spell!) and seek medical advice. Even if someone does reply on here with correct information, won't you feel so much more reassured if it's properly checked up on?
Good luck :-)
